Nadler Amendment: The Ayes Have It

The House just passed Jerrold Nadler's amendment to add $3 billion for transit investment to the stimulus bill. There's a lot more work coming up very soon -- in the Senate and in conference committee -- but this was a hard-fought win and everyone who helped push it through should take a minute to pat yourself on the back. 

The House just passed Jerrold Nadler’s amendment to add $3 billion for transit investment to the stimulus bill.
